Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot Tele Pickups
Are you searching for that clear, open Telecaster tone that defined an era? The Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot Tele Set delivers exactly that—and more. Built for players who demand the authentic sound of a ’50s–’60s Tele with the reliability and detail of modern craftsmanship, this set gives your guitar a voice that’s rich, expressive, and unmistakably vintage.
Fralin didn’t just aim to recreate a tone—he captured the feel, the dynamics, and the nuance that make a great Tele pickup so inspiring. Whether you’re playing clean country runs, bluesy leads, or gritty Americana riffs, the Vintage Hot Set responds with clarity, warmth, and definition at every turn.
Why This Set Stands Out
Unlike many pickups that focus too heavily on either brightness or warmth, the Vintage Hot Tele Set strikes the perfect balance. Fralin winds these with just the right tension to maintain low-end warmth and upper-frequency sparkle—no mud, no ice pick, just musical tone.
The set includes both neck and bridge pickups, hand-wound in Richmond, Virginia, and crafted entirely from USA-made components. Fralin’s team assembles each set with precision and consistency, ensuring that your guitar sounds its best—every time you plug in.

What You’ll Hear
The bridge pickup delivers that classic Tele twang, but with a smoother top end and tighter low frequencies. You can dig in with your pick and get a snappy response, or back off and let chords breathe with transparency and sparkle.
Meanwhile, the neck pickup brings warmth and roundness without sacrificing clarity. It works beautifully for jazz, blues, and rhythm playing, staying articulate even when rolling back the tone or volume knobs.
Together, the set provides dynamic range, tonal versatility, and unmistakable vintage character. The pickups shine in clean settings but also handle overdrive gracefully, keeping note definition and harmonic richness intact.
Condition:
